CNN Student News - Bombs Defused Dec5th


1. Bombs Defused 
2. In Koblenz, Germany, they found two bombs under a small lake. This is very dangerous for the German who lived in that part. The bombs sat under water for 65 years. Half of the population living there had to leave. The hospital and everyone moved to another place, leaving homes and jobs behind. People said finding bombs in Germany will be a routine. 
3. I hope that those two bombs will be the last bombs that they found, because I don't like dying. I feel very sorry for those who lived in or near Koblenz, they had to leave their homes and jobs.
